Clowney made waves at SEC Media Days last week when he said he saw fear in the eyes of three quarterbacks when he played them last season: Clemson's Tajh Boyd, Georgia's Aaron Murray and Arkansas' Tyler Wilson.

Clowney elaborated on Boyd, saying: “I can tell Tajh Boyd is scared back there. He ain’t no sitting duck, but you can see in his eyes that he’s scared of our D-linemen … He’s scared every time we play them. I know he’s probably listening to this right now, but I’m just telling the truth, man.”

Boyd later said that he was not afraid of Clowney but was not about to get into a Twitter or media battle over the comment.

Richt’s comment might be the official Georgia response.

Best player on any level!

Good answer.

We'll see if he's right on Sept. 7 when Clowney and the Gamecocks visit Athens.
